OUR MISSION
THE MISSION OF HOPE INITIATIVE IS TO ERADICATE SEX TRAFFICKING THROUGH AWARENESS, RESCUE, & RESTORATION
OUR STORY
Hope Initiative was birthed in November 2016 out of a passion to reach, rescue, and restore victims of sex trafficking. Our mission is to eradicate sex trafficking right here in the Central Valley, across the US, and around the world. We believe together as a community, we can make a difference! Our goal is to open restoration homes both in the US and worldwide. Our heart is to see victims come and begin the healing process spiritually, physically, and emotionally. We will have a safe place for them to not just survive, but to thrive and begin to dream for a better tomorrow. We want to help set them up on the path in life they were destined to live.
THE DREAM
It's going to take a community of physicians, counselors, teachers, coaches, and mentors to make a difference in the lives of the survivors that are rescued. Our goal is to equip them with the tools necessary to navigate not only through their healing process but also through the rest of their lives. Our heart is to prepare them to not only survive, but to thrive in life. We want to surround them with a healthy community family that will walk them through the entire process. They will be equipped with resources, community, and family around them to help them succeed. Our greatest hope is that when the time comes for them to leave the restoration homes, they will be healed, restored, and excited about what their future holds! They will leave confident and equipped to live the life of their dreams!
